Is the wire floor that is above the tray comfortable for the dog? Do their paws bother them when standing?

We did not like the wire floor either, so we put the metal tray above the wire so that sit on the tray. It can be a little noisy when they move around a lot, but more comfortable for the pup.

We put blankets down for our pups and they love it. We have not had an issue with our dogs and this crate.

We put the tray on top since our dogs don't have "accidents" in the cage. They really didn't like the feel of the wire floor so we just changed the two out

It's not comfortable without padding. You'll need to purchase a thick crate pad or something similar. On a side note, if your dog is an escape artist, you'll need to back up the flimsy locks with something from your local hardware store. My staffie mix broke the locks the first hour he was in it. Aside from that, it's been a great investment.

I use an old comforter in it for my Pit Bull to lay on, thinking the wire would catch his toenails. When the blanket is pushed out of the way or being washed, the dog doesn't seem to have an issue just standing in the grate itself. This crate has been great for our needs thus far!

The tray is fine, it is at least even. Our dog east bothered by it, though we did put some blankets and towels to lay on. Its also worth noting that we went through 2 other kennels before this onem our dog could either pick the lock or chew the others open. Its very very sturdy.

I put the tray over the grate and I have a padded dog bed in it. It would not be comfortable otherwise. The dog bed fits perfectly and works great.

My 80lbs Lab is not bothered by it nor is my 150lbs Saint Bernard. Both are comfortable size wise in the kennel as well as the bottom tray.

We bought a large "pillow" and our little one enjoys the comfort and security. She walks into it without a fuss.

I don't know as I did not have any luck with this product; my dogs did not like it and would not get on it alone, nor stay on it when I placed them there. I think it was the "texture" or sound of the plastic underneath when their paws were touching it through the disposable pads I used.

I've never owned a hedgehog, so I can't comment if a hedgehog would use the shelf up top. The first concern that does pop into my head is the bottom of the cage. The animal isn't walking on bedding, it's the same wire in the bottom that makes up the sides so the little hedgehog feet might go through the wire???

Yes. You do have to pick up the paw just a little to guide it into the leg openings. Then it slides on and up easily. I have a lot of these and love them. Very comfortable and easy to clean.

I have two 16 month old black labs (85 and 90 lbs). They have done fine in it. It does seem to feel more flimsy than our smaller ones but I think that is just because of the height of the kennel. The latch has to be secured with a wire though on the one we use all the time..they paw at it and have been known to get out. My metal tray (which is why we bought it) is about 2 inches shorter than what I think it should be. Had to anchor it so that the dogs could not paw at rug that was beneath it.

Absolutely. Its like a hammock. Theres no way your pup will get to the floor

The floor is very flexible. What I did was put my puppy's bed in it to help with that and help him be more comfortable.

The solid plastic tray is, not the wire part. The sides collapse down to the bottom for storage. (The perch and dishes need to be removed, of course.) There is a clip at the bottom to hold it together.

The cage is fully enclosed with the plastic tray sitting inside of the cage. If the puppy digs her way through the plastic tray, she still has to get through the wires of the cage. I love the cage but only leave my dog in it for short periods of time. Hope this helps.

If you mount it higher than floor level , doggie should have no problem stepping over the base, as long as his width fits through ok !

If you purchase the correct size (go to the Comfy Cone website to see how to properly measure) your dog should not be able to reach anything - including its paws. I bought mine for my Black Lab who has issues with his paws and it stopped his constant licking. Good Luck!

It is low to the floor which is good, however has depth. It may be too big and frustrate them more then encourage. I have a 22 lb dog and it is good for his size.

Did not see any bad reviews for the floor. It is rubbery plastic, the type that seems to hold up. I would expect good service as long as it is not subjected to constant freezing temps. That may make a difference. We use a dog bed (cushion) but the plastic floor reassures us that accidents will not easily end up on the floor. Our Boxer loves it. We leave the doors open and he goes in when tired for a nap. If we leave the house we tell him to go lay down and then close the doors. He does not fuss since he prefers to sleep when no one is around anyway! Keeps him out of trouble.

Not really. It's got a dot pattern surface, but it's still the rigid plastic, not a non-skid surface. My little dog - 14 years old with arthritis - does okay because the pads of her paws can grip the dots.

We think this tray is excellent, no longer does our dog have any misses on the floor. We cover the tray with a large weewee pad (same size as tray) and then top with a small pad in the center that gets changed every morning. The large wee pad stays for about a week and everything us tidy. The small pads are inexpensive and the dog always grads for the middle.

Wire floors aren't necessarily bad for rabbits. Standing around in their own urine certainly is, it can 'burn' the pads of their feet. The wire flooring allows the urine to 'escape'. A better idea is to provide mats. These can be made of cardboard, woven grass etc. Also it's a good idea to invest in a play pen or something similar and let your rabbit have some time out on the ground & space to hop around.

I do not find the floor slippery yay all even when mopping. My puppy tends to disagree but I think that is just a coordination issue when speed is involved.
